Monopoly is an American-originated board game
published by Parker Brothers. Subtitled "The Fast-Dealing Property
Trading Game", the game is named after the economic concept of monopoly —
the domination of a market by a single entity. It is currently
published by the United States game and toy company Hasbro. Players move
around the game board buying or trading properties, developing their
properties with houses and hotels, and collecting rent from their opponents, the ultimate goal being to drive them into bankruptcy.
